Flirty at thirtyby Armand Beasley

“The 30s are a really interesting time; with the arrival of children and working hard, the 30s tend to be the decade of multitasking. It's important to go for a look that makes the individual feel sexy yet professional and polished. I created this fun look on the lovely actress Sinead Moynihan, whilst Trevor Sorbie Artistic Director, Vincent Allenby complimented the look with a vintage style updo.

1. Start with a primer to absorb any excess sebum like Nars Oil Free pro primer. Next choose an appropriate foundation for your client’s skin type. A good one for a normal/ combination skin is Illamasqua Skin Base. Use a foundation brush, starting from the nose and blending outwards.

2. Concealer is probably the most important product for women in their 30s. Clinique’s Airbrushconcealer around the eye will even out the skin tone whilst YSL's Touch éclat will bring brightness.

3. Urban Decay’s Naked Palettes 1 to 3 are really versatile eye shadows, but the liner creates the wow factor here. I used Urban Decays glitter liquid liner to create the feline flick with Bobbi Brown Long Wearing pencil in Jet, along the waterline. Add shimmer to the inner corner of the eye for a touch of fun and evening glamour."
